About Harley Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Harley Cottage is a detached house in Houghton, Carlisle, Carlisle (CA3 0LR). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
